February 9-13, 2026

This is a time for celebrating your dedication to

ensuring compassionate, patient-centered care.

Don’t forget that you can download a banner and have it printed through your institution’s printing department or an external vendor such as VistaPrint.

Download a PDF file to send to your local or online print shop for a 2.5-by-8-footbanner for Solidarity Week. (Scroll down the page to find the files.)

Looking for ideas to celebrate Solidarity Week?

Here are a few ideas to spark inspiration:

 

  • Host a gratitude or reflection wall where patients, learners, and staff can share messages of compassion
  • Distribute stickers during rounds, tabling events, or wellness activities
  • Organize a moment of pause, discussion, or storytelling session centered on compassionate care
  • Partner with your GHHS chapter or colleagues to recognize acts of humanism within your community

Utilize Tell Me More®

 

Tell Me More® helps foster meaningful connections between patients and healthcare team members through guided, human-centered conversations.

 

  • Uses prompts on the Tell Me More® Wall Poster
  • Highlights patients as people beyond their diagnosis
  • Patient insights are displayed in the hospital room to support human-centered care

 

Why participate?

  • Typically a Gold Partners Council benefit
  • GHHS chapters receive a complimentary 1-week license during Solidarity Week
  • An easy way to pilot the program at your institution

 

How to participate:

  • Sign up for Solidarity Week
  • Register for Tell Me More® to receive the program toolkit

Take It Further: Tell Me More About Your Community

 

We also invite chapters to deepen their impact by exploring the communities they serve through Tell Me More About Your Community: Partnerships in Humanism.

 

What’s involved?

  1. Share your interest in participating
  2. Complete the Community Discovery Form, reflecting on your local population and context
  3. Create a creative capstone piece—your “Portrait of Our Community”—to share your findings

 

Selected chapters will be invited to present their creative capstone at the Gold Humanism Summit, highlighting how humanism comes to life in your community.
